Traffic analytics, real-user performance monitoring, and client-side error tracking - normally three tools - in one cookieless, privacy-first dashboard: Swetrix. The Community Edition ships the same core engine as the cloud product - a NestJS API with ClickHouse for high-volume event storage, MySQL for relational data, and Redis for caching, fronted by a React dashboard and a ~5 KB tracking script with official packages for 20+ frameworks including Next.js, WordPress, and Shopify. Traffic analytics cover pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns, geolocation, sessions with page flows, funnels, and custom events - all anonymized server-side with no cookies, no cross-device tracking, and no consent banner required for GDPR compliance. Performance monitoring records real-user metrics per pageview: TTFB, DNS and TLS timing, and render times, so regressions surface in the same place as traffic. Error tracking captures unhandled JavaScript exceptions automatically with formatted stack traces, filename/line metadata, affected browsers and pages, first/last-seen timestamps, and a resolve workflow - replacing a separate error monitoring subscription for many teams. Alerts fire to email, Slack, Telegram, Discord, or webhooks on traffic spikes, new errors, and custom events. If Plausible covers your traffic questions but you also want to know why the site broke, Swetrix answers both.

A Day One alternative that keeps your most personal writing on your own server: Journiv is journaling purpose-built for self-hosters. The FastAPI backend runs on SQLite by default with optional PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery for background work, behind a clean, minimal web UI. Unlike general note-taking apps, it ships the features journaling actually needs: customizable moods and mood groups, activity tracking, goals with automated progress from logged activities, and daily writing prompts filterable by category and difficulty so a blank page never stalls you. Quick Log captures a moment in seconds and expands into a full entry later; "On This Day" resurfaces entries from past weeks, months, and years. Multiple journals separate work, gratitude, and personal writing, with tags and full-text search across everything, plus media uploads with automatic thumbnails and an Immich integration for linking photo-library memories. Analytics chart mood trends and writing patterns over time. Data portability is taken seriously: native import of Day One exports, JSON/Markdown/HTML export, and a standalone HTML viewer that opens your archive in any browser with no server running. OIDC single sign-on works with Authentik or Keycloak, and multi-arch images cover amd64 and arm64.

Mail-in-a-Box turns a single Ubuntu server into a fully functional email system with one setup command, installing and configuring Postfix for SMTP, Dovecot for IMAP, Roundcube for webmail, and Z-Push for Exchange ActiveSync push notifications in an automated sequence that would take days to replicate manually. The DNS server auto-configures the full suite of email authentication records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC with DANE TLSA, MTA-STS, and SSHFP. Getting all of these right is what separates email that lands in inboxes from email that lands in spam, and most manual installations never achieve the complete set. Nextcloud integration adds CardDAV contact sync and CalDAV calendar sharing across devices. Let's Encrypt certificates provision and renew automatically for every hosted domain. The web control panel manages users, aliases, custom DNS records, and automated backups, protected by TOTP two-factor authentication. Daily health checks verify that services run correctly, ports remain open, TLS certificates stay valid, and DNS records resolve properly, alerting you before delivery problems develop. Multiple domains and users operate from one installation with internationalized domain name support. Built-in HTTPS static site hosting uses the TLS infrastructure already in place. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with guaranteed resources, root SSH, and browser serial console for complete email sovereignty. CC0 public domain licensed.

2FAuth generates TOTP, HOTP, and Steam Guard codes from any web browser, freeing your two-factor authentication from dependence on a single smartphone or app. Lose your phone, switch devices, or sit at a desktop computer, and your 2FA codes remain accessible through the web interface. The Laravel and Vue.js application stores account secrets in an encrypted SQLite database that backs up as a single file. Adding accounts works through camera-based QR scanning or manual secret key entry for services that only provide text codes. Group organization with drag-and-drop sorting keeps large collections navigable, categorized however you prefer. WebAuthn authentication with FIDO2 hardware keys protects vault access with phishing-resistant passwordless login, meaning the tool that secures your accounts is itself secured by the strongest available method. Automatic screen lock triggers after configurable idle time, and OTP obfuscation dots out generated codes until you tap to reveal them, preventing shoulder surfing in shared spaces. The REST API enables browser extensions and external applications to request codes programmatically. Import compatibility with Google Authenticator, Aegis, and 2FAS ensures painless migration without re-enrolling every account from scratch. PWA installation places 2FAuth on your device home screen for native-app-like instant access. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with guaranteed resources and full root SSH access. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

With nearly 3,000 GitHub stars and active development since 2014 through version 14.2.0, Yopass eliminates the universal bad habit of sharing passwords and API keys through Slack messages, email threads, and ticket systems by encrypting secrets entirely in the browser using OpenPGP before anything reaches the server. The Go backend stores only ciphertext — it never sees plaintext — while the React frontend handles all encryption and decryption client-side, generating one-time URLs that self-destruct after a single viewing or when the configured expiration of one hour, one day, or one week passes. File upload support streams encrypted files with configurable size limits, and optional custom password protection adds a second encryption layer beyond the URL-embedded key. The server supports Redis or Memcached as storage backends with automatic key expiration, deploying via Docker Compose in under five minutes or as Kubernetes manifests for production environments. Built-in TLS support works alongside reverse proxy configurations for Nginx, Caddy, and Traefik with automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning. Prometheus metrics expose HTTP request counts, latency histograms, and secret lifecycle counters for Grafana dashboard integration and alerting. Read-only mode enables split-instance deployments separating secret creation from retrieval across different network zones. Multi-language support localizes the interface for international teams. The open-source core under Apache 2.0 provides full self-hosted functionality with no account management required. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Security-conscious IT departments pick Passbolt for its cryptography: every user holds an OpenPGP key pair, and shared credentials are encrypted individually to each recipient's public key - real end-to-end encryption, not a vault password handed around. All crypto runs client-side in the mandatory browser extension (distributed and signed through the Chrome and Firefox stores, deliberately separating the crypto code from the server that stores ciphertext); private keys and passphrases never touch your instance, and the server admin cannot read a single secret. Authentication uses the challenge-based GpgAuth protocol, secrets are digitally signed to verify sender integrity, and metadata encryption extends protection to resource names and URLs. Day to day it behaves like a polished commercial manager: auto-fill and auto-save in forms, strong password generation, anti-phishing protection, TOTP storage, folder hierarchies shared per-user or per-group with fine-grained permissions and instant cryptographic revocation. Native iOS, Android, and desktop apps ship alongside a JSON API, CLI, and SDKs for CI/CD secret retrieval and rotation. The PHP server runs on MariaDB and is AGPL-licensed open source - including the paid tiers' codebase - with published security audits.

With over 9,000 GitHub stars earned since Google killed its browser-based Timeline, Dawarich fills the gap with a fully self-hosted location history platform that keeps your movement data under your control. Built on Ruby on Rails 8.0 with PostgreSQL and the PostGIS spatial extension for geometry-based queries, Dawarich imports your entire Google Takeout location archive in minutes and begins rendering interactive maps immediately. The visualization engine supports five map layers — heatmaps, points, lines, Fog of War exploration tracking, and a 3D globe view — each powered by Leaflet and spatial SQL rather than browser-side computation. Native iOS and Android apps handle background GPS tracking with offline support, automatically uploading location points when connectivity returns, while third-party integrations support OwnTracks, GPSLogger, Overland, Home Assistant, Traccar, and PhoneTrack. The trip system lets you create route visualizations between any two dates, attach notes, replay travel paths with a timeline scrubber, and share trips publicly with phrase-protected links and per-section visibility controls. Immich and PhotoPrism integrations automatically overlay geotagged photos on your maps and trips, while AirTrail integration renders flight history as arcs. Statistics dashboards break down countries visited, cities explored, total distance traveled, and active days by year and month, with visit detection suggesting places you have frequented. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Take the tool sales teams use to never forget a client detail and point it at the people who actually matter - friends, family, the colleague whose kid's name you keep blanking on: Monica is a personal CRM. It's a Laravel/PHP application over MySQL where each contact accumulates the texture of a real relationship: how you met, family members and pets, work changes, addresses, notes from conversations, activities done together, gift ideas and gifts given, even debts owed in multiple currencies. Two features set it apart from every contact app. Reminders with staying power: set per-contact intervals (weekly through yearly), get notified at 30 days, 7 days, and day-of, with automatic birthday reminders and CalDAV sync to your calendar. And a journal linked to contacts: write about dinner with friends, tag each person, and build a timeline that's part diary, part relationship log - plus a daily "how was your day" rating. Monica is deliberately manual and deliberately private: no social network features, no AI, no email scraping, no ads, no analytics - a quiet database of what you know about people you love, on your own server. Multiple vaults and users, labels, custom activity types, and document/photo uploads round it out. AGPL-licensed.

Over 400 technologies and thousands of smart devices from any manufacturer, unified under one roof: openHAB is the vendor-neutral home automation platform with a pluggable binding architecture. Each binding translates a device or service into openHAB's clean abstraction: Things expose Channels, Channels link to Items, and Items feed a rules engine that runs your home. That engine meets you at your skill level: Blockly gives non-programmers drag-and-drop visual logic, JS Scripting (GraalJS with the openhab-js library) is the modern text-based standard, the classic Rules DSL remains supported, and JSR223 opens the door to Python, Ruby, and Groovy. Time- and event-based triggers, scripts, notifications, and voice control compose into automations of any complexity, and users report decade-old rule sets still running rock solid. The Main UI handles configuration, semantic modeling, and now built-in charting - no external Grafana required. Built in Java on Apache Karaf's OSGi runtime and stewarded by the non-profit openHAB Foundation, it requires no cloud to function: everything runs locally, talking directly to your devices. Optional connectors bridge to Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit, with iOS, Android, and web apps for control from anywhere.

Named from the German "Ich schrei sonst" - roughly "or I'll scream" - Isso is a lightweight Python/JavaScript commenting server, a drop-in Disqus replacement for people who noticed what Disqus does to reader privacy and page load times. The design premise is printed right in the docs: comments are not Big Data. So the backend is a single SQLite file rather than a database cluster, and the entire client is one embeddable JavaScript file - 65 kB, 20 kB gzipped - that you drop into any static site, blog, or CMS. Commenters write in Markdown, need no account, and can edit or delete their own comments within a configurable window (15 minutes by default). Spam control comes from an optional moderation queue: held comments stay invisible until you activate them via an admin interface or email notification links. Migration is a first-class feature, with importers for Disqus and WordPress exports, so years of existing threads move over intact. Because everything is server-rendered from your own instance, no third party tracks your readers, and real-world switchers report smaller pages and faster loads than the Disqus embed. MIT-licensed, running since 2012.

Upload files, get a share link, let it expire: PsiTransfer is a self-hosted WeTransfer with no accounts, no logins, and no third-party cloud with size caps and metadata harvesting. The engineering focus is large files over imperfect networks. Uploads use the tus.io resumable protocol, so a dropped connection on a multi-gigabyte video resumes exactly where it stopped once you're back online; downloads support HTTP range headers for the same resilience, and everything streams, so file size is bounded by your disk rather than memory. Files organize into upload buckets with retention you control: expire after a set time (up to weeks) or after a one-time download, with automatic cleanup when links lapse. Recipients need nothing installed - they open the link, preview files in modal views, and grab everything as a zip or tar.gz archive with one click. Buckets can be password-protected (AES-encrypted download lists), and security-through-obscurity is done properly: bucket URLs use hashed UUID tokens and stored filenames are replaced with UUIDs. An optional admin page (enabled by setting an admin password) lists bucket information and storage. The Vue.js frontend ships under 100 KB gzipped and is fully responsive. Honest caveat from the author: no end-to-end payload encryption yet. BSD-licensed, Docker-ready.

With over 110,000 GitHub stars and one of the fastest-growing open-source communities in the self-hosted space, Immich delivers a Google Photos-grade experience entirely on your own hardware. The platform handles automatic background backup from Android and iOS devices, deduplication, and support for RAW formats, LivePhotos, and MotionPhotos. Its machine learning pipeline runs facial recognition and clustering locally on your server, enabling you to group photos by person without sending a single image to the cloud. CLIP-based semantic search lets you find images by describing their content in natural language, while metadata-driven search covers EXIF data, dates, and locations. The web interface built with SvelteKit provides a responsive timeline view, albums, shared albums with configurable permissions, public sharing links with optional passwords and expiry dates, partner sharing for family libraries, and a global map plotting photos by GPS coordinates. Administrative features include multi-user support with per-user storage quotas, OAuth integration, API key management, and a user-defined storage structure for organizing files on disk. The architecture uses PostgreSQL for metadata, Redis with BullMQ for background job queues handling thumbnail generation, video transcoding, and smart search indexing, and exposes over 400 REST API endpoints documented via OpenAPI with auto-generated SDKs for web, mobile, and CLI clients. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Why should your chat history live on someone else's servers? Chatpad AI - a React/TypeScript front end for the OpenAI API, built on the Mantine component library - is designed around that question. Enter your own OpenAI API key and start chatting with GPT models; every conversation, prompt, and setting is stored locally in your browser via DexieJS over IndexedDB, with no tracking, no cookies, and no backend database at all. That architecture is the point - the Docker image is just Nginx serving static files, making it one of the lightest AI deployments in the catalog, and pay-per-token API pricing typically undercuts a ChatGPT Plus subscription for moderate use. The interface earns its "premium quality" tagline with the details: a persona selector that switches communication styles per conversation, a saved-prompts library for messages you reuse constantly, organized chat history, and full data export/import so conversations move between browsers or into backups as files you control. A JSON config file customizes defaults - models, API endpoints, UI options - without rebuilding the image. AGPL-licensed, with desktop builds available upstream. For teams that want ChatGPT's utility with a self-hosted, zero-telemetry footprint, Chatpad is the minimal, sane answer.

Calendars, to-do lists, journal entries, and contacts, synced over the open CalDAV and CardDAV standards nearly every client already speaks: Radicale is a small pure-Python server that works with Thunderbird, DAVx5 on Android, Apple Calendar and Contacts, GNOME, and many more. Its defining design choice is radical simplicity: there is no database. Events live as plain .ics files and contacts as .vcf files in an ordinary folder structure, which makes backup a copy command, migration a move, and disaster recovery a matter of reading text files. The server works out of the box with no complicated setup, then grows as needed: flexible authentication (htpasswd files among other methods), per-collection authorization rules, TLS-secured connections, and a plugin system for extending storage, auth, and rights handling. Built-in limits on parallel connections, file sizes, and failed authentication attempts harden it for network exposure behind a reverse proxy. A bundled web interface handles creating and managing calendars and address books - useful since many clients cannot create collections themselves. Maintained since 2011 with 140+ contributors, GPLv3-licensed, and light enough to run on the smallest VPS or a Raspberry Pi.

Every unit of income gets a job in Actual Budget - a local-first personal finance app built on envelope (zero-sum) budgeting, where you can only budget cash you actually have, which keeps the plan honest by construction. The data model is a SQLite file that lives on your device and works fully offline; the self-hosted Node.js sync server adds background multi-device synchronization using CRDT-based distributed-systems machinery, browser and mobile access as an installable web app, and automated backups. Optional end-to-end encryption makes the synced data unreadable even to the server hosting it. Transactions enter three ways: manual entry, file import (CSV, QIF, OFX, QFX, CAMT.053), or automatic bank syncing through GoCardless for EU/UK banks and SimpleFIN for US/Canada. Built-in YNAB4 and nYNAB importers migrate complete budget histories, and reports, schedules for recurring transactions, and rule-based transaction cleanup handle the day-to-day. A fully featured local API lets developers script custom importers and automation against their own data. 100% free, open source, and 26k stars strong.

The CAPTCHA bargain - annoy your users and feed their behavior to Google - gets replaced with economics by mCaptcha. Instead of image puzzles, it uses SHA256 proof-of-work: every visitor's browser silently solves a small computational challenge (via a WebAssembly library) before submitting a form. Humans never notice the milliseconds; bots hammering your site must burn more compute sending requests than your server spends answering them, which makes attacks more expensive than defense - the property that also makes mCaptcha genuine DoS protection, not just bot filtering. Written in Rust, the system is fully automated: difficulty scales with traffic, so challenges stay trivial in normal conditions and harden under attack. The privacy and accessibility wins are structural rather than promised: no tracking, no profiling, no user-pattern data collection, and no visual puzzles that exclude users with visual or cognitive impairments - the design was published in Communications of the ACM. Rate limiting is IP-independent, so users behind NATs, VPNs, or Tor get the same experience instead of endless challenge loops, and proofs resist replay attacks, neutering captcha farms. Migration is deliberately easy: the API is compatible with reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, making it a drop-in replacement. AGPL-licensed core with proprietary-friendly client libraries.

SnappyMail is a fast, privacy-respecting webmail client that connects to any existing IMAP and SMTP server, booting in under a second with a JavaScript payload of just 138 KB under Brotli compression (down from RainLoop's 8 MB fork origin). No database is required: all configuration and user data persists as flat files in a single volume, making Docker deployment trivially simple with the roughly 30 MB image consuming approximately 50 MB of RAM. Built-in PGP encryption supports three backends: OpenPGP.js v5 with ECDSA and EDDSA key generation, GnuPG integration, and Mailvelope browser extension compatibility, eliminating the need for separate encryption plugins. The integrated Sieve script editor enables users to create mail filtering rules, vacation auto-responders, and forwarding conditions directly within the web interface when connected to ManageSieve-capable servers on port 4190. Multi-domain administration allows a single instance to serve users across multiple IMAP servers with per-domain authentication routing. The admin panel manages extensions, security settings, branding customization, and domain configuration. GDPR-friendly by design, it removes all social media integrations, Gravatar lookups, and external tracking present in RainLoop. Dark mode strips background and font colors from email messages. The modified Squire HTML editor replaces CKEditor for composing rich-text messages. Scores 99% on Lighthouse performance. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Stocks, ETFs, crypto, bonds, precious metals, and cash across every account and currency, in one privacy-first dashboard: Ghostfolio is open-source wealth management software. The deliberate design decision is no brokerage linking: positions enter by manual entry, CSV import, or the REST API, so your holdings never pass through a data aggregator. Performance is measured as return on average investment across Today, WTD, MTD, YTD, 1Y, 5Y, and Max timeframes, with benchmark comparison against indices like the S&P 500, dividend tracking, and allocation breakdowns by asset class, region, and sector. A static X-ray analysis flags concentration and other portfolio risks, and a FIRE calculator projects progress toward financial independence. Multi-currency support converts holdings using historical exchange rates, market data comes from Yahoo Finance and CoinGecko among other pluggable providers, and everything exports back out as CSV or JSON. Built with Angular and NestJS on PostgreSQL and Redis, shipped as Docker images for amd64 and ARM, with a mobile-first PWA interface, dark mode, and a distraction-free Zen mode. AGPL-licensed.
